Sept. d. 1887.

Last week we published the state
ment that fig tree in Frenchtown, two
years old, was probably the only one in
this section of country. Since then we
have seen two of these trees in the gar
den of Mr.. Jacob Helms, on Coryel street
in this city, that are eight years old.
They bear prolifcally. The third crop
this season is now coming to maturity.
The figs grow nearly as large as pears,
and when ripe have blueish color like
grapes. Although the trees are of con-
siderable size Mr.. Helms digs them up
every Fall and stores them in tho cellar.
In the Spring, when they are set out, the
limbs are cut back, thus keeping down
the size and ensuring better yields.

Killed by On Orange Seed.

ton. DR.. Emerson, his physician, called
in DR.. William Gilfillan for consultation,
and they, having decided that an opera,
ton was necessary, procured the assist
ance of DR.. F. H. Cotton. The three
doctors made an incision, and after re-
moving a quantity Of pus found the
source of trouble and removed it. The
patient, however, was unable to rally
from the shock, and died about four
o'clock. DR.. Gilfllan said to Sun re.
porter:
"The operation was desperate one,
and was undertaken only as last resort.
There was no possibility of saving the
patient otherwise. The orange seed was
found lodged in the appendix vermi-
formis. This is small sac attached to
one part of the intestines. What pur-
pose it serves is not exactly known. 1t
is, however, a sort of trap, always ready
to catch and hold hard substances pass
ing through the intestines. The lodg,
ment of-such substances in it is not in.
variably fatal, but the exceptions are
rare. Seeds of oranges, rasins, and simi.
lar fruits are peculiarly liable to be caught
in this way. Is it dangerous to cat
oranges? Well, suppose in a city OF
this size there is one case year of death
from such a cause. Very frequently it is
an orange seed, but not always. There
are about 600, 900 people in Brooklyn, all
eating oranges right along, and with one
death year from this cause it would
seem to be about as dangerougs to eat an
orange as to sit in the house and wait fol

How the Kaiser Escaped.

I had myself been in Berlin when both
attacks were made upon the life of the
Emperor-when Hoedle shot at him from
the crowd, and Nobling from window
overlooking the celebrated street, Unter
den Linden. A curious little incident oc-
Cured upon the latter occasion. AS the
Emperor was going to his afternoon
drive in the Thiergarten, he asked an at
tendant standing in the hall OF the pal
ace why such an unusual and gayly-
dressed crowd thronged the streets.
''They go to see the Shah of Persia,
your Majesty" was the answer.
.Ah, then 1 also must put on gala at
tire!" the Emperor remarked, smiling,
and forthwith took from the table his
Prussian helmet, replacing with its steel
plating the military cloth cap which he
had before placed on his head. When a
few hours later he was brought back to
the palace, wounded and bleeding, the
helmet was dented in several places where
the mixed shot used by Nobling had
struck against the metal. Had the unre-
sisting cloth been there instead, who can
tell how different the ending of thetrag-
edy might have beena -
Two or three days after the at
tempted assassination the old monarch
asked to see the clothes he had worn on
that fatal day. Looking at the military
cape, riddled with shot, and the dents in
the eagle capped helmet he turned to
those standing by his bedside, and with
tears in his eyes said, pointing to the
marks of the bullets: "Thank God, it
was not one of my own Berlin men who
did that r'-BlacAsccod.

The Discorerer of Natural Gas.

There is one man who is deserving of a
place in the history of the discovery of
natural gas. DR.. Oesterleni, of Findlay,
knew of the presence of natural gas there
fifty years ago. He was passing stone
quarry and detected its presence. He
made little cone of mud over fssure,
and put bucket over the orifce. In a
few minutes he struck a match under the
bucket When the doctor picked him
self up in the adjoining corn.feld the
bucket was still in the air, sailing north
in the direction of Toledo. 1t was
through DR.. Oesterleni's energy, fifty
years later, that the first natural gas
company in the town was organized. He
had been laughed at and deridcd fol
half a century, and even after the flow
had been struck in 1884, they say Il good
many of the people thought Old Nick had
hand in the thing somewhere.-Pitts-

AT BAY.

This is the end, then, Of striving; that is what
comes of it all;
Darkness and foes just behind one; before, an
impossible wall.
What does it matter how stanchly one may
have battled for truth,
When with his weapons all broken he sits by
the grave Of his youth?
What did it profit in past years that one did
the best that he knew,
When in the gloom of the present, virtue her
self seems untrue?
Why should one fight any longer when moth
ing remains but defeat'
Surely such labor were useless and idle the
stirring Of feet
Ali but the soul that is faithful knows it is
good to have fought;
Knows it is good to have acted, whatever the
doing has brought.
This Is the crown of the conflict this the re-
ward Of all strife
Faith in ones self and ones motives, no mat
ter how darkened the life.
Flesh may be bruised and defeated, but spirit
is never disgraced:
Spirit is always triumphant, whatever sharp
pain it has faced.
Here, at the end of my conflict, I counsel not
yet with despair,
Though to all seeming my struggles are bis
who but beateth the air.
Darkness and foes are about me, yet stand
with my back to the wall,
Facing whatever Fate sends me, and facing
Fate thus /. shall fall!

Queer Fuel.

A correspondent of a Los Angeles pa
per, speaking of fuel, says that it is very
scarce in Los Angeles county. In chilly
weather, when necessary to keep fire
all day, he uses what is called ''brea. !"
1t is crude petroleum, which runs out
of the hills in many places in the south
ern country. The hot sun evaporates the
LIQUID part, or the coal-oiI, leaving the
dregs, or the solid part, on the surface,
which can be broken into chunks when
cold and is then ready for use. A fire of
wood is made and some of the "brea"
put on, which, when it gets hot, melts
and covers the wood, causing it to burn
very slowly. Without wood the "brea"
would melt and run in the ash-pan. One
cord of wood and one ton of 'brea,"
which only cost So per ton, will last as
long as three cords of wood.-sa
